- Covox Speech Thing Driver for Windows 3.1 and Multimedia Windows
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- STHING.DRV is a Windows WAVE driver. It requires either:
- 1) Windows 3.1 or
- 2) Windows 3.0 with Multimedia Extensions.
-
- Notes:
- This driver uses a printer port to play sounds. If a sound is
- playing, the printer port will be unavailable until the sound has
- finished playing. If the Print Manager (or some other application)
- is using the port, the driver will NOT play the sound.
-
- Like the internal speaker driver, the Speech Thing driver plays
- exclusively, so Windows will not run programs or respond to the
- user while sounds are playing. Unlike the internal speaker, the
- Speech Thing sounds much better.
